TEST DRIVE

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.

[Hahahaha that WOULD work... if she wasn't just a TEENSY bit distracted by that first bit.]

Wait, WHAT?!?!?! How is it that other-me knew you ANY length of time and didn't invite you to a SINGLE slumber party?!

WHAT KIND OF SICK WORLD IS THAT PLACE?!

[POSSIBLY THE ATTEMPTED BRAINWASHING BUT HONESTLY IT IS A LITTLE STRANGE]

I didn't know you very well. Mostly I knew you guys as a group... and Sunset Shimmer.
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[Ah. That one little tack-on told her a LOT more than if Aria belted out a namesake detailing every single nasty thing she'd done at Canterlot High, and her smile tightens a little bit in response.]

Sunset's part of our group too~

[...He never thought the day would come where he missed Grif, but here it is.

You know, come to think of it, it has been a while since he's dealt with someone who was about as gifted as an empty tube of toothpaste.]


You mean to tell me that everybody stationed here got here through one of these holes?
georgiareds: (A song of you)

I laughed too hard to be sorry

[personal profile] georgiareds 2015-05-28 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Rrrgh. Reluctant as he was to get help from a dirty blue, nobody else here seemed like they knew what the sam hill was going on either.

And at least he could more likely than not pull rank over somebody in standard-issue blue.

It's been a while since his last encounter with Blood Gulch's own true blue idiot (HA!), but even still there's something familiar about the incredibly tall figure.

He stops dead still when the not-so-stranger speaks. Clearly there is only one reasonable explanation for this.]


Holy macaroni! That blasted hole must have somehow sent me to an alternate dimension, and now I'm stuck here and have to learn the ways of the opposite-people!
georgiareds: (just an old sweet song)

why you gotta double fist me in the feelings

[personal profile] georgiareds 2015-05-28 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[It's been far too long since Georgia saw somebody else in armor, and when he initially spots the familiar giant in blue armor he breathes a sigh of relief. Even the sandcastle isn't too much of a red flag, since Alaska's interests were always of a more creative and occasionally childish bent.

...The words, however, take a minute to register.]


I- ...Come again?
georgiareds: (the whole day through)

[personal profile] georgiareds 2015-05-28 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
...

[That's spanish for "...".]

There is something seriously messed up with your chain of command, little lady. Any of these soldiers got names?
fishtails: (nothing can stop us now!)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy well, roll with the punches, as they say. Just gotta settle back into some good ol' half-truths.]

That's... not how it looked to me.

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hmp?

[Hey old guy with the weird moustache... sup.

Sorry, he's just going to stare at you in confusion for a bit. That's all he can do, really.]
justhavecourage: (ow... that smarts...)

B

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Very reassuring.

But Link is coughing at your cigarette and staring at the fire stick like it's the smoky devil. Great moogly hoogly what's that thing?]
justhavecourage: (WOAH!)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry Akagi, you're not going to get a quiet beach picnic...]

HAHHHHHHHHHHHHGHHKKK!

[Feel free to help or laugh at the man who is running away from a very angry local for smashing pots like it's no one's business.]
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

[Oh help that's adorable.

Unfortunately, instead of asking for permission, he just kind of picks the bear up to help her reach her goal]
justhavecourage: (what am i looking at?)

Truth!

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
[... Well... that's ... kind of an unusual set of challenges but he's really ready to give it a try.

Okay... assuming that the last one was a deku scrub or something... it's clearly the second one!

So Link holds up two fingers to show his answer!]
justhavecourage: (dafaq?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
[. . . Are you talking to him?

... He looks down at Strong Bad in confusion.

... Sorry... what do you want?]
justhavecourage: (LEGOLAS WHAT DO YOUR ELVEN EYES SEE?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

[Sorry. No Adagio here. Just a very confused... elf? Sure. Go with that. He goes up to her, rubbing his ears as he does so. You sound even louder to him. Please stop.]
justhavecourage: (dafaq?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He's... kinda gotten used to the idea people were yelling facts and lies to him. However, he's gotten rather good at that.]

. . .

[He puts three fingers up. Aren't her eyes green?]
justhavecourage: (yeh bring it)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

[Don't expect any words... Or anything really...

BUT JUST KNOW THERE IS A BLONDE ELF CARRYING A BOMB THAT'S PROBABLY THE SIZE OF A HOUSE COMING TOWARDS YOU ANDERSON]

Amelie takes out a round blue case and opens it up. That done, she removes her contact lenses and places them inside the case before looking directly at Tall, Blonde, and Silent with her grey eyes.
justhavecourage: (WOAH!)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
Guah!

[ARE YOU MAGIC? YOU ARE CLEARLY MAGIC! HOW DO YOU DO THAT? ONLY QUEEN ZELDA WITH HER MAGICAL POWERS OF SHAPESHIFTING CAN DO THAT??????

Link is very, very confused. Never seen that before!!!!]
onaroll: (classy)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Magnifique!"

Pause.

"What is a cutie mark?"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Amelie holds the case up so its contents can be seen - it is filled with small, convex lenses.

"These are called fashion lenses, non? You simply place them on your eyes and they will appear to be a different color."
justhavecourage: (what am i looking at?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh...

[He stares at the lenses and then back at Amelie. He hears her talking and he understands the words... but not what they mean.

. . .

A... mask for eyes?]

[Her face puzzles for a moment, tilting her head side to side as she looks at Aria, almost as if she's trying to gauge how true that is...]

Yup! You WOULD look prettier with glasses! I'm gonna go see if anybody new's here yet too. Bye, Aria!

[And with a quick wave Pinkie's turns around to do just that... but not before finding Sunset first.]
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, let's go with that. Amelie takes out a different pair, applies them, and looks at the world with her newly sky-blue eyes.

"Want to guess which one is the lie?"
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks back at her with his own sapphire-blue eyes and gives a nod. If three is wrong... then two must be the lie!

Ancient people were the norm for him. Look at the Great Fairy.

Two fingers up for both his answer and his victory. Yes!]
